Athlets and coachs inspect the slope of the women's FIS Alpine World Cup event in Cortina d'Ampezzo, on January 22 2009. This is the third time the session has fallen victim to the weather. In the best case scenario the training, which is compulsory for a downhill race, will now be staged tomorrow in place of the first downhill event which was rescheduled after being cancelled at Lake Louise in Canada last month.
